Experience Pilates at its finest in our wood cabin-like studio, equipped with top-of-the-line Reformers, Towers, and Chairs.
The Pilates Reformer is a sophisticated system of springs, straps, and pulleys that acts as resistance to aid the body while working on a rolling platform called the carriage. Benefits of the Reformer include:
Versatile and efficient movement patterns with the use of different tools such as jumpboard, standing platform, reformer box, and dowels
Build strong muscles and bones
Increase flexibility and mobility
Gentle on joints
Stability training
The Pilates Tower is attached to the Reformer and allows the opportunity to sit, stand or lie down (based on the exercise) using a variety of springs and bars to increase strength, flexibility, stabilization, and muscular endurance.
The Pilates Chair resembles a backless chair with a padded seat on top and pedals attached to offer strong, medium, or low resistance. Exercises can be performed sitting or standing on the padded surface, standing behind or in front of the chair, lying on the padded surface while pushing down on the pedals with hands, and more. Benefits of the Chair is unique balance training, deep core strength, and total body endurance.
